2011-12 NHL Season

There's a difference between being "sensetive" and calling you out for a comment mocking a guy over a serious illness he has no control over. Shall I mock you if, God forbid, you had Parkinson's? While we're at it, let's drop by some special needs kids and make fun of them as well. After that, we can poke fun at the dyslexic and those with amnesia. Fun fun fun!

I want to forget all about this post, but I just can't shake it.

the thing of it is that it really is like watching him try to thread a needle, though

You done? Are you feeling better now? If you'd like to continue this ('this' being you talking and me just sort of ignoring it) you can PM me. Otherwise there's no point in taking this thread any farther away from what it's meant for.

Sorry to any I gave offense for. I take the blame for this brief derailment.

we done trolling? good now talk hockey to me.

I wasn't...trolling?....*looks around, confused*

We're about an hour away from puckdrop to nationally televised Blackhawks/Ducks, or as I like to call it, "Hockey Feces Showcase." Ducks are the hotter team, Blackhawks should put on a dazzling display of ineptitude. I'm guessing 5-1 Anaheim the final.

There we go, Wingels a minute and half in puts the Sharks up 1-0 in Minny.

Update: 2-0!

You'll have to wait for the next Chicago meltdown. So about 5 minutes into the game.

Man I hope the Lightning can do something real about their goaltending this offseason. I know goaltending alone has cost at least the 6 points that currently separate the team from the playoffs and division lead. Gah, it's frustrating.

The defense also sucks, lets not forget that.

Mathieu Garon has actually been more than I could've ever expected, really.

The players don't suck, they're just playing 1-2 spots over where they should be on a depth chart at the moment. Better goaltending needs to be priorities one and two in the offseason.

...Still waiting for charger to come in and start whining about how the NHL needs to suspend Chris Neil for his dirty hit.

Something tells me that Yzerman's crop of high draft picks is going to go into a trade for a quality goaltender somewhere. I'd love to see Garon back next season, but as a back-up.

Which would be odd considering the Blackhawks have generally been good against the Ducks this season.

Not that there's any reason it should seeing as Carlyle's long gone, but I'm seriously hoping it doesn't turn out to be anything like that infuriating Black Friday game.

I don't think you'll have much of a problem tonight. These teams are mirror opposites of where they were when they met earlier this season. The blackhawks are in their death throes and Emery's chump ass is starting in goal. No Toews, no hammer. Morrison will probably play trash minutes on the 4th line in place of the legendary John Scott. It's going to be a laugher.

[ninersdd]

Greiss just robbed Heatley, definitely one of the better saves of the year.

Of course the Sharks just piss away a goal lead it's tied 2-2.

WTF is going on now, Todd Mclellan is gonna need a strecher.

Update: He walked off on his own feet fortunately, but he is out of the game.

I forget that the world is such a sensitive and touching place. When reading some posts, I hear "Arms of the Angels" playing in my ears. My bad, I'll be as gentle and nurturing as mother hen from now on.

Let me tell 'ya, man. You're a real riot.

Sorry some folks don't think making fun of people with Parkinson's disease is perfectly okay.

Are you guys all done? Seriously? I apologized for my terrible sense of humor - you guys remain pissed. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.

I'm tired of being bitched at redundantly, and won't post that stuff anymore so I don't incite the wrath of humorless monoliths. Jesus. Hockey thread.

Hockey. NHL. Let's talk about it.

[maz]

I don't call a half-assed snarky post about how sensitive people are apologizing. That's what got under my skin. But you're right, this is a hockey thread.

The Penguins seem to play down to the competition. I don't like this. We need points.

Am I really the only one who actually thought that comment was funny?

I texted it to Alain Vignuealt, here was his response:

I didn't think it was THAT funny, but I didn't think it was OMG THE MOST OFFENSIVEIST THING EVAR like some other people on this thread.

Anyway. Hockey. Yes.

We can all agree Chris Neil on Johnny Boychuk was a legal if bone-crushing hit. Kyle Turris on Joe "All Bruins Fans Hate Me" Corvo...this is questionable.

Leaves his feet, appears as though he's aiming for the head. No suspension for Turris. I'm actually pretty torn on this.

Wow, that's rough. The fact that he left his feet is pretty damning, but Boychuk ragdolled into the boards. Hmm.
